Pseudomonas aeruginosa as a cause of septic arthritis after a sewing needle injury
Journal Title: Ege Tıp Dergisi - Year 2016, Vol 55, Issue 2
Abstract
We report the case of 12 years old healthy boy with septic arthritis after a sewing needle injury on his knee. Radiological examination revealed a metallic foreign body in the medial femoral condyle. The case was diagnosed as septic arthritis according to clinical, radiological and laboratory findings. The patient immediately underwent arthroscopic debridement and needle was removed. As the culture result revealed Pseudomonas aeruginosa at the second day postoperatively, antibiotic treatment was started and continued for six weeks. The postoperative course was uneventful and joint function returned to normal.
